The proposed building would be approximately 31 feet 4 inches in height. The existing retail building (BevMo! and Smart & Final) has a building height of 27 feet to the top of the parapet and approximately 33 feet to the arch element. The existing fast food restaurant (In -N -Out Burger) has a building height of 18 feet to the roofline and 32 feet to the tower element. Staff finds that the proposed building height is comparable to the heights of the existing retail and restaurant buildings in Pleasanton Square II Shopping Center. Compact fluorescent tube lights would be mounted under the trellis and roof segment connecting the restaurant with the kiosk. Ground - mounted lights would be installed in the outdoor dining area, adjacent to the restaurant entrance, along a portion of the parking lot, and would illuminate the U.S. flag on the flag pole. In addition, eight, 20 -foot tall parking lot light poles with one or two mast arms would be installed. No other lights are proposed. A new trash and bike storage enclosure would be constructed to the south of the restaurant building. The exterior of the enclosure would be stone veneer, matching the building. The trash enclosure would be approximately nine feet in height with double weathered -wood gates. Vehicular and Pedestrian Circulation Vehicles: Vehicular access to the project site would be from several driveways within Pleasanton Park business park; however, it is assumed that the easiest and most direct access would be from Johnson Court. Vehicles using the drive - through lanes would enter the project site from the northern driveway and exit from the southern driveway. To determine if the proposed queuing storage of the drive - through lanes is adequate, a queuing analysis was included in the Traffic Impact Analysis for the Chick -fil -A project prepared by Hexagon Transportation Consultants, Inc. in September 2013. The surveys measured the vehicle queues at the Chick -fil -A restaurant in San Jose during lunch and peak hours in two ways: (1) total queues in the drive - through and (2) queues behind the ordering board. The maximum queue length observed during the surveys was 14 vehicles. The surveys were conducted around 12:15 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. on a typical Saturday and around 12:25 PM on a typical weekday. Assuming a length of 20 feet per vehicle, the queuing storage space required to accommodate 14 vehicles is 280 feet. The site plan for the proposed Chick -fil -A development shows that the current design will incorporate two drive - through lanes with a total storage of approximately 425 feet, after which queued vehicles would block the adjacent drive aisle and access to parking stalls. Therefore, the overall queuing storage space provided by the project would be adequate to accommodate the expected demand. Observation of the queuing at the San Jose restaurant indicated the maximum vehicle queue length behind the order board was 11 vehicles. Assuming a length of 20 feet per vehicle, the queuing storage space required to accommodate 11 vehicles would be 220 feet. The proposed site plan shows the double drive - through lanes would have a total storage of 160 feet behind the order boards. However, staff deemed the proposed vehicle storage area sufficient because the two pickup windows would allow for more efficient traffic flow than at the San Jose location that only has a single pickup window. Nevertheless, to ensure the proposed queuing storage space is adequate, staff has added a condition which would require the location of the order boards to be adjusted if queuing interferes with the adjacent drive aisle.
